This project has taken a long time and a ton of work including engineering, sewing, and welding. So here he is in his full glory, Kenta Dragon!

He features our NEW fully moveable, spring loaded, non powered, custom designed and welded aluminum dragon wings. These wings have fully adjustable tension springs inside and have a natural bounce when the person is walking. Also they are collapsible even when fully extended, they just bounce right back! They have an additional hinge feature in the base of the wing, in case of walking through a doorway or innocent passerby; they will hinge backwards and bounce back to position. No tools or parts are required to adjust or assemble. It fits snugly in a standard size fursuit case when disassembled. Worth noting, we make these wings virtually idiot-proof and you cannot over-adjust or break anything (easily).
The wings are based on a backpack harness design and weigh about 14 lbs. It’s a manageable weight and gives the wings a sense of realism when moving. If you move your shoulders just right, you can get the wings to flap and it makes a lovely breeze for onlookers to enjoy. Our next version will be bigger (addition of humerus/elbow arm joint) and hopefully pneumatics. We will post pricing on wings soon, and posting a video of the wings up close and how they move.
Also seen on this project are colored foot pads, large foot claws, digitigrade, carved foam tail, vinyl head spikes, 3-d eyes, and over all an awesome character.
He’s on his way to Canada early next week. Enjoy!

I mean the future model you're talking about. There's a concept suit that I want to build eventually when I have the money and the skills that would use gas springs (instead of steel springs) to help support the (probably considerable) weight of the suit.
Imagine the raptor in this video, but instead of human legs walking on top of the dino legs for control, the human legs would be inside them. This might be really hard to do.

Kenta! sweeeet.... Never met him/her, myself, but I got to do a pic with him in it for someone's hatch-day... Sweet suit! Totally huggable and adorable. I'd snuggle that...
The wings go for the WIN! Been trying to design my suit, trying to come up with a usable wing-design I like.
